I spent a small amount of time yesterday watching
Sidney Lumet's classic
Twelve Angry Men. I remember the hindi remake of this since it was a Diwali I was down with measles and was kind of compelled to watch it. And I was hooked. It was the one time I did not repent being sick.
This time around I watched it in silence and more or less undisturbed. With minimal sets and no fancy lights - the movie is made by the script, the understated movements and the actors (especially
Henry Fonda). Just magnificent acting prowess makes this movie a must watch.
It was time well spent.
